Top 3 are all auto cleaning herbs/making unf potions and the bottom one is an auto fletcher (starting yew longs now). I've also run mining bots and wc bots via mobile.

These are bots lol... Albeit stupid bots, but they're bots nonetheless damit!

No, I just have a desk light on instead of my room lights. The cost to run each device, constantly plugged in, is likely around $1-2/year, maybe a little more.

Mobile botting 1.0 Everything is running in the background and GUI's turned off to save RAM (cheap devices). It's not sophisticated, but it sure as hell works. ?

I'm not getting anything close to even 400K/hr with unf potions, but I'm also not doing the best herbs possible since that would mean a substantially higher risk per account. With minimal risk, I'm getting around 200-250K/hr per account.

If all your settings are correct, you should contact your proxy provider.

Almost got 99 fletching on one of my suiciders last week. Got one to like 97 or 98 before the ban and another to 95 or 96.

I'm not going to go into details about it or anything, but I will confirm Mobile botting (botting used loosely) is a thing. All my mobile bots have their accounts created on the device itself while under a SOCKS5 proxy and I have received 0 lockouts on any mobile bot. The life of my mobile bots are usually 5-7+ days running between 12-20+ hours per day.

A $500 dump to try and start a bot farm without even knowing what that entails is a horrible idea, but it's your money.. As someone who's been doing HEAVY testing over the last month or so for my own farm, I can wholeheartedly say that it will be 10x harder than you expect to make it into something viable/sustainable.

Completely worth it for me, at least. I'm averaging around 10-20M per account before receiving any bans (a couple are still without bans). Same CC used on all of them, only thing that has to be changed between accounts is the Gmail you use (phone verification is a bitch ;) ).

Still active, I've started multiple new accounts in the last 2 days with this same method.

I've got 2 level 85 miners and a 3rd in training.

@FrostBug can I get a 48hr trial for this? Last two weeks or so seem to have a lot people reporting decent # of bugs, but I'm sure user error is a percentage of that. ? EDIT: Actually I think I need another day or so before I'm ready... Need to do some quests still.

There is no way to know whether or not an account is safe to bot on or not. The short, end all answer: No, botting is itself a dangerous and risky practice that will always result in a ban at some time or another. But for reference, I have a main that received a 2-day ban in like 2014 and another 2-day ban last month, both for Macroing related offenses.

Don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole for various reasons, but the only logic behind this theory in my mind would have to do with input tracking. Basically, Jagex has found themselves in a similar, yet harder, boat as before when all the bot clients switched over to using virtual mice.

Yeah, I could arrange that. I'll add you on Skype

I highly doubt Jagex is going to be doing anything to address this method of obtaining membership, or else they'd have started by linking the trial to the payment details used (much smarter method to handle trial authentication IMO). The real question is how long will this promotion last.

Hope this helps someone.

UPDATE: As of September 12, 2019, Jagex has removed the 7-day Free Trial offer from OSRS. It's been fun and I'm honestly surprised we got almost a year of hardcore abuse out of this. Cheers Fam! EDIT: They are now monitoring/linking CC/payment info to free trials. I can't confirm how many yet as I got off around 8-10+ before they blocked one of my CC's (I'm guessing this came about with the new trial offer screen in-game). Will try to keep everyone updated as I learn more. PAYMENT METHODS ARE NOT TRACKED/BANNED/RESTRICTED. THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT IS WHAT GETS BANNED/DISABLED/LOCKED, INCLUDING PREVENTING PURCHASES FROM THE PLAY STORE!! EDIT 2: THE CURRENT BOTTLENECK FOR CLAIMING FREE TRIALS HAS TO DO WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT CREATION. (Google's Anti-Bot measures are FAR more robust than Bot Watch. I have spent 100's of hours researching/testing/developing methods to get around this problem, with little success.) I used this method to successfully create and train 4 MANY new accounts w/ 7 day free memberships. Enjoy (NOTE: This guide will be Android only, steps should be same/similar for iPhone, just change Google accounts for Apple accounts) Requirements: 1. Multiple Gmail Accounts 2. Android device with OSRS app installed 3. Valid Payment details for Google Play Store Steps: 1. Log into your desired account on OSRS app. 2. Open the in-game store and click to buy membership (should open a new window). 3. Select 1-month membership offer (it should say something about a 7-day free trial). 4. Go through the membership setup and select your valid payment details when asked. 5. After you see the message saying "payment confirmed" or something to that extent, go into your OSRS account settings and cancel the membership like normal. 6. Profit... You can repeat these steps for any number of accounts that have not yet claimed this offer by doing the following. 1. Log out of OSRS on the app. 2. Go to your Android device's settings and add a new Google account that has yet to claim this offer (the offer is attached to your Google account). 3. Repeat steps 1-5 above with the new OSRS and Google accounts. BUT WAIT! What if I don't have an iPhone or Android that can run OSRS!?!?! Can I still get this offer??? YES! There is an application for Windows (not sure about OSX) called "Bluestacks" that allows you run an emulated Android instance on your desktop with no additional software. 1. Download and install Bluestacks (ask Google). 2. Go through the setup process to get your Android emulation running. 3. Open the Playstore App on the home screen (log into your Google account if you haven't already). 4. Download OSRS Mobile. 5. You're now able to run OSRS Mobile on your Windows desktop (and yes, it seems to run smoother than the normal desktop clients lol). I've only just started playing around with all of this in the last week or so, but I've got a strong background in emulation and virtualization, so I'll do my best to provide support within this thread for anyone who tries this.

FYI, I made another run at this and have successfully leveled 4 accounts, plus NMZ quested them without issue. I made some changes to my security measures/practices, along with running a separate SOCKS5 proxy on each account. I will note, I am NOT using OSBot client/proxy setup as I have suspicions about it resulting in lockouts (nothing confirmed by any means). Instead, I'm running RuneLite through the proxy and everything seems dandy.

Speculation (been floating this idea in my head for a while): Jagex tracks in-game banks to some degree or another, most likely to be largely contained to flagged IP's. I'd also bet they have Bot Watch (or w/e it is currently) setup with a criterion to flag anyone with certain bank arrangements that correlate to said questing scripts. In the case of StealthQuester (IIRC), it will use the G.E. to purchase the needed items if not already in ones bank, so there is also likely criterion for purchasing quest items in a certain order (that alone isn't proof since Wiki lists items in specific orders and such, but it gives them reason to watch an account). There needs to be more human-like behavior in terms of item acquisition. A decent test bed for this theory would be sampling the Ironmemes that use questing scripts to see what their ban rates look like considering they can't use the G.E. (thus creating a much more random pattern of acquisition, on average).

I'm pretty sure the better approach to this is emulating mobile on your desktop (See Bluestacks for Windows users) and then running something like Simba or AHK scripts to interact directly with the client.

Everything done by hand, by myself.

Agreed, that part of all this is a bit peculiar, but it could be as simple as Jagex querying my HW ID's/Drivers. They would then see 1 normal machine and 3 VM's, so they could easily determine which accounts were which.

No proxies were being used yesterday as I had no (or little) reason to suspect that I would receive any bans for this. Also, why is it "really fucking weird" to have all 4 accounts running off my home ip? It's really no different than 4 people playing from the same location due to how NAT works.
